    Thank you Gary. A little better than the same type of set I sold at about the same price.

    A few packages

    - paa sacre de dago which was a soap trade.

    - a couple of blade dispensers. Was after the cream so i can put into an executive case ( lol now to find the razor)

    - lastly was my Gillette / Rotbart hybrid. Not sure if the Rotbart case is original to the set.

    Yeah, i am very happy about it. I just recently heard of it and when the seller dropped the price and he had no takers… i was more than happy to take it. Knurling reminds me of the populars.

    it's a beautiful design,and most likely one of the first safety bar type razors of the era.it begs the question,why wasn't it made for longer?.one source says it couldn't be used with the single ring/rfb type handle..like the new lc baseplate.

    A while back i bought a fatboy from an ad on facebook for like super cheap. Well last week the seller reached out and said she found a couple of more razors and asked if I would like them. I said yes. She refused to let me pay for them or shipping and well it was another fatboy and an unused travel tech. Awesome lady

    I like it too. @Jorvaljr mentioned that it's most likely made by Conrad, who made Barbasol razors among others. Which this looks like a Barbasol razor. I've been thinking of using a heavier handle and trying some out to see what they look like, Karve Christopher Bradley, Colonial General Brass and Rifle Bullet Case. If I don't get another handle, I might just make a rifle bullet case handle like the last pic..............

    Cool score Jim. I agree it sure looks like one of the Conrad Razors. It looks nice on all 3 handles but I think either the bullet or the Karve handle look the best with it.

    That makes me feel good-I have the plastic bottle, and you imply it smells very similar to what was produced in 1931.

    I agree, if only I can find a spare Karve handle, it would be nice. If not, I can make the other one.
